Don't know if anyone has watched season 2 of Cobra Kai, but it was absolutely fantastic. And as ridiculous as the last episode's fight sequence is, I loved every minute of it.

I'm just waiting for a figure skater to show their support for Buttigieg with a picture of a figure skating boot. (because a figure skate has a boot and two edges, you know, like Boot Edge Edge...)

If you want actual color commentary, you need Dick Button.

The way I look at it, Yagudin and Plushenko's 6.0 footwork would make for excellent choreographic sequences. Certainly better than the choreographic sequences we see today.

Like toothpaste coming out of a tube.

When I think "Great Basics + Musicality," the two skaters that instantly pop to mind are Michelle Kwan (already mentioned) and Paul Wylie: - Schindler's List - JFK - The Untouchables - Carmina Burana - Apollo 13

Here are close ups from the 1080p YouTube source. Take off position (for reference): https://i.imgur.com/rUsUYiX.jpg Frame 1 Frame 2 Frame 3 Frame 4 <-- Toepick touches. Frame 5 Frame 6 Frame 7 I would say that Frame 4 shows the toe-pick hitting the ice at the 3/4 mark of the rotation (I...

Sorry, I assumed Vincent's Quad Lutz trajectory was well-ingrained into everyone's memory (but that's probably because I reviewed it over and over again). Here is the video of where those images are from: https://youtu.be/lg_9dy4HVgo?t=272 The first picture in my previous post shows where the...

It's hard to tell, especially because NBC's slow motion replay wasn't really slow motion; however, going frame by frame shows this: https://i.imgur.com/rfyOOnq.jpg https://i.imgur.com/jOibOHF.jpg The TS made the right call.

I cannot stand Kolyada's music cuts in the last minute of his program because it sounds like a broken record... if they had a Zayak rule for repeating the same section of music more than once, then the last minute would be in clear violation of this. It also doesn't help that the cut at the...

The skaters who I rewatch the most on YouTube are: Kwan, Eldredge, Wylie, and Kulik. So, for the women, it's easy: Kwan. No contest. For the men, it's difficult; I think Eldredge (1996-2002) has the best long program music cuts and program layouts of any man in skating (I'm a huge fan of...

Ariane (World Pro) followed by The Red Violin (Worlds); I just find Michelle to be much more mature post 98 (for me, 99 was like a second transformation).

I don't think it's a timing issue due to it being a fan cam; it's probably a cut down version of the long program... there's only two spins in it IIRC.

Ok, this is going to be an odd discovery/recommendation, but Terrace House: The Aloha State on Netflix is incredibly addicting. It's basically Japan's version of The Real World, if the people on The Real World acted like normal, civilized human beings in an actual real world. It is pretty much...
